uploading the code to the repository created

I have installed Git for Windows. There is both a graphical shell and a shell with CUI. I have created a repository using the graphical shell :

enter image description here

How do I push the code to the Git repository ? In the repository URL, I see this push URL :

git remote add origin https://github.com/suhailgupta03/Nappster.git
git push -u origin master

Can anyone please tell, how do I use this URL to push the code ? Like I have a directory named x and I want to upload the code in that directory to the repository named Nappster (the url for which I have give above.)

There two things you can do, you can either

a. Copy the code in directory 'x' to 'Nappster' and run the following commands from the Git CLI

cd /w/GitHub/Nappster
git add .
git remote add origin https://github.com/suhailgupta03/Nappster.git
git push -u origin master

or b. Initialise 'x' as the git repo

cd path/to/x
git init
git add .
git remote add origin https://github.com/suhailgupta03/Nappster.git
git push -u origin master

You can call your origin whatever you like, eg. github

git remote add github https://github.com/suhailgupta03/Nappster.git
git push -u github master

Every time you do a push from thereon, should drop the -u flag so it's just

git push github master

Word of warning, if you have a file that contains database connection info for example, you need to add that file name eg db_credentials.php to the .gitignore file and create another file eg. db_credentials.php.dist without the sensitive info

If you are suhailgupta03 on GitHub, a simple click on the "pushing to GitHub" should be enough.

If not, that button would push to a newly create GitHub 'Napster' repo owithin your GitHub account.
Or you can define a primary remote repo, as I illustrate in "Use GitHub for Windows for both BitBucket and Github".
